Plaindealer

The Supreme Encampment Is Under Full Sail For Aug. 14--20 The Topeka Plaindealer 30TH ANNUAL GRAND SESSION OF THE TABORIAN ORDER GOES DOWN IN HISTORY AS ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND HARMONIOUS. Grand Officers Unanimously Elected The Knights and Daughters of Tabor, Princes and Princesses of the Royal House of Media, Malda and Pages, held one of the best and most successful sessions in the history of the organization, last week at Iola, Kansas. All the elective and appointed officers were in their stations when Chief Grand Mentor, A. M. Harold and Grand Precinctress, Dtr. Emma Gaines, opened the session in the A. O. U. W. Hall, at 10:00 A. M. on Tuesday morning, July 12th, with a full representation of officers from the various Temples, Tabernacles, Tents and Palatiums which goes to make up the Grand Session. After devotions and other exercises such as dedicating the hall and appointing various committees, the session got under full headway. This was the second time Chief Grand Mentor Harold had presided since taking the reigns of office and he certainly is doing business for his order. The reports from all sources showed he had everything at his finger's end. He has put new blood and new life into the order. His annual address showed all disputed claims for years back, all paid, and all disputes of long standing adjusted, and peare and harmony prevailed. After the reading of his annual address, the body moved to re-elect him, which was done with great applause. When Chief Preceptress, Emma Gaines, who has been with the order for almost a quarter of a century, had concluded reading her address, a motion to re-elect her, was unanimous. It was then that the big joy meeting took place. With the two singing and shaking hands and congratulating with speeches occupied the time for an hour. The reports of Sir. A. W. Hopkins, Grand Scribe, who has held that position for thirty years, was re-elected by acclamation, as was Sir. A. W. Burdette, Chief Grand Treasurer, who handles more money that any other Colored man in the state of Kansas, and who can account for every cent at any minute in the day or night. Also Dtr. Sarah Forbes, Grand Recorder, who has no equal as a recorder. She is the best in this country. Her records are almost perfect. As each officer read their report their election was of one accord and when it came to the smaller stations of electing officers, it required but twenty minutes. This was the first time the entire force was elected without opposition. The death list was rather large. All claims were paid. All departments showed progress. The District Deputies reports showed they were up and doing. The recognition was held at the High School auditorium at which the Mayor was present. His address was delivered by the Judge of the local court, who made a fine talk on what it required to make good citizens. His talk was good. Rev. W. F. Botts, of Omaha, responded. He paid a glowing tribute to the loyalty of the colored man to this country, and spoke of what Christian civilisa- The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

He thanked the Mayor and speaker for the many kind words spoken by the marshal for their friendly feeling which exists between the races in Jola. Welcome addresses by Dtr. Williamson and Gordon, of Jola, were responded to by Dtr. Roundtree of Omaha and Hicks of Topeka. Welcome address on behalf of Temples, Tabernacles, Tents and Palatiums was made by Dtr. Minnie Chiles, of Golden Tabernacle, No. 2, and J. A. B. Temple, No. 9, were responded to by Dtr. Della Kemp. The Annual sermon on Wednesday evening by Chief Grand Orator, the Rev. Sir Wm. Enyard, was a gem. He showed how Taborianism was organised and had the Bible as his proof. He opened the eyes of the members, as this was the first time they had been shown what a great order they were moving in and the things for which it stood. This sermon caused his re-election. Other candidates took to the tall timber. The Milk Maids Convention on Thursday night, was an unusual treat and Dtr. Gordon deserves much credit in working up this play. They should take it to other towns and perform. Iola has a number of talented people. On Friday night both races vied with each other to make it pleasant for the members of the Grand Session by offering their autos for use in the parade. The Chamber of Commerce gave their assistance. Bankers, Lawyers, Farmers and Merchants using their cars and drove themselves. This without any cost to the visitors. We seldom meet white people of this class. We are proud of Iola's white citizens, who showed and proved by their actions, that they were fair and treated all citizens alike, regardless of color. The parade was headed by the Pittsburgh band, followed by the Palatine Guards, Maids and Pages in autos; the Sir Knights marching and the Daughters in autos, adorned in their beautiful robes, crowns, etc. They paraded thru the principal streets on to the Fair Grounds, where a fine spread was prepared and a large group picture made. On Friday evening the Competitive drill took place in the gymnasium of the high school, with five teams entered for the contest. The loving cup held by the Princess Guards of Kansas City, Kansas, Dtr. Lena Downs, Captain, was won last year. Five judges were selected: The first team Morton Palatine Guards, of Parsons, with Sir. Capt. Jones; next the Henderson Palatine Guards, of Kansas City, with Capt. I. B. Hhnt; third, the Wilson Palatine Guarde, of Omaha. Ladies Teams: Princess Guards, of Evening Star, with Capt. Bertha Morton; second, Princess Guards of Kansas City, with Capt. Lena Downs. - The contest was spurred from start to finish, drilling according to the regulations of the Taborian order and regulation. There were several movements executed by the various teams The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale image with a blurry background.

HARRIS SIR A. M. HARROLD. C. G. M. OklahomaSenators Disgrace State by Attitude in Tulsa Riot Matter. UNITED STATES SENATE Washington, D. C., July 9, 1921 Mr. Nick Chiles, Topeka, Kansas. My dear Nick:— Your-letter in regard to the Tulsa situation was duly received. I conferred with Senator Harreld of Oklahoma and also with other senators about the advisability of attempting to secure an appropriation for the relief of the distressed colored people in Tulsa, but I regret to say I could not get much encouragement. They seem to be in sympathy with your people in Tulsa but they said it would be impossible to put thru an appropriation at this time. All the talk here is to cut down appropriations and shut off everything that comes along which will take money out of the treasury. Efforts have been made in a number of other cases similar to this no secure relief appropriations, but in every instance they have fallen down. I am sorry I cannot give you a more encouraging report. TRAINING FOR SERVICE By Dennis S. Thompson A few weeks ago I attended some of the sessions of the National Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Congress held in Kansas City, with the Second Baptist church. This Congress was presided over by Rev. W. D. Cannon, of Atlanta, and Rev. E. W. D. Isaacs, of Nashville, of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Boards respectively, of the National Baptist Convention of America This Congress is one of the most representative of its kind throut the country, among our group, having for its object the winning of our young people to Christ, and thereafter the training for Christian serwhich shall encourage the young christian to lead a useful life for the Master, and in the interest of humanity. The meeting was a great one; there was a great one; there was a large and enthusiastic delegation in attendance; they were a great lot of Christian men and women gathered to report to the Master the result of their year's labors and to inquire further of Him what he would have them do. Each meeting was full of the spirit inspiration, interest, enthusiasm and should have an everlasting effect upon the Christians of our group here in the middle West, in that it should inspire them to actual and more sincere Christian service. A large number of our young people have not the proper home training, and so start life in the wrong way; too many in the churches are not truthful, and are not loyal to each other, and have no joy in religion. I am convinced more and more is a member of the Coal Miners on the 31st term to succeed himself each day that until Christianity really ion and has held many responsible in account of the strict and bush means joy to us, we shall never be position of trust and honor.

The decision of the Judges gave the first place to the Morton Guards of Parsons, and the Evening Star Princes' Guards, first place in the Ladies contest. The session adjourned to meet in Atchison, Kansas, in 1922. The committee composed of Golden Tabernacle, No. 2, and J. A. B. Temple.

The Grand Presiding Prince, Walter N. Williams, has organized Palatiums and drill teams to the number of four of each. He is putting his department in good shape. LOST SON WANTED: MOTHER ILL.

ARTHUR CAPPER Kentucky Editor Takes Race To Task On Racial Short-Coming Kentucky Editor Takes Race To Task On Racial Short-Coming Editorial by I. Willis Cole, A Masterpiece and is Timely and Opertune. Much has been said during the week about the editorial in the News, or last week, in which the editor of that paper scored the fraternities, churches and other organisations headed by members of the race, with the usual, but false excuse, that they get their work done cheaper. Every word of that editorial expressed the sentiment of the Leader. The question of getting members of the race to patronize their own enterprises is not only a local question, but is also a National question. The race will never get from under the feet of the other fellow, and reach its rightful place in the sun; the American Negroes power and influence as a people will never be felt through the nation and the world, until the same interest is taken, and the same attention given to its business and commercial interests as is given to its education and religious activities. "The hundreds of various kinds of printed matter put about the city bearing the imprint of other printing establishments, but those operated by the race, had brought about much comment from those interested in race business, previous to the News editorial. Especially ad when it was known that several of the fraternities, churches and other organizations, who have put their printing in other hands depend upon members of the race for their promotion and maintenance. It is a usual thing for race publishers to buy tickets, to help out a church or an organization which has not been printed by our race concerns. Hundreds of people have bought this same ticket which bears the imprint of the other printer, the church or hall is crowded with people of color, and we are one of that number there to boost the cause. We are racy, we are also printers, but the printer of, that ticket and the other advertising, nor any of his color are in the audience. He too, is at a race meeting, perhaps. He is interested in his. We employ in our office members of our race. He employs the sons and daughters 10 THE MUSEUM OF ART AND COLLECTIONS [Signature] SIR A) W. HOPKINS, C. G. S. members, yet he has been their representative to the District Convention several times, as well as an Interstate delegate to the Miner's National Conventions in Indianapolis, the last two sessions. He is a devout Christian gentleman, now chairman of the Trustee board of the A. M. I. church; president of the Parent-Teachers Association of Lincoln school; a member of the Knights of Tabor, for forty four years, owns his home at 321 Dakota street; is a Mason, U. B. F., and a member of the Royal House of the Myterious Ten. A) the session at lola this year, 1921, of the Knights of Tabor, the delegate made up a fund with which to purchase a suitable present. His friends are legion in both races. After the accounting of the funds of the Grand Temple and Tabernacle, to the amount of $15 295 77, his accounts were reported as being absolutely accurate to the penny. Mr. Hopkins is considered a wonderfully honorable man by his organisation and was unanimously re-elected for the 51st term to succeed himself, in account of the strict and businesslike methods he uses in the performance of duties of his office. 0 and tell us how many you any you can house brings happiness. So many are just in the church for a convenience, they have no faith in themselves, nor in others, so how can they have faith in themselves, nor in others, so how can they have faith in God. In my estimation, faith means among other things that the Christian shall have a deep and abiding belief in the power of good over evil. Many Christians seem to hold a sort of hopeless faith, a sham affair that gives up before hand. Great opportunities would be wasted on such Christians, because they have not learned to use the small opportunities that come to them daily. Our group must learn sooner or later that God is the source of all power, and no strength is real without Him. We must not forget however, that that with all of our ups and downs, that there is a God in Heaven to whom we must look, serve, trust and obey, we as a people must honor God before we can get relief from our present condition. We must remember how the children of Israel with greater indignities heaped upon them than we have, were brought up from Egypt from under a mighty bondage, by the strong arm of God, and not a gun fired, or a bomb thrown. Do we, as christians remember. We have become too careless, our Christian duty; it is the careless people that add each day to burdens of others by their mistakes and unselfish thought. The greater portion of the delegates to this Congress came from below the Mason and Dixon line; they came with hir hymn books and music all composed by members of our group. The Congress as a whole was made up of earnest, honest, hard-working christian men and women, who know what to do ond are doing good work. A fact which was brought out in the session, and one that great emphasis was placed upon, was that our group is doing better in localities where they are harder pressed. Dr. Cannon, the president, said he found such to be true in his travels thru the country. The Congress is insisting that in every church no matter how large or small, that there shall be trained classes in the different auxiliaries and no one but trained leaders and teachers in charge. This is not possible in a year or two, but the idea prevails that as fast as teachers and leaders can be trained, they will have preference over untrained persons, which is very well, and necessary to get satisfacory results. The Congress is doing a good work in the interest of the young people, and well it might, because it is to the young people we must look for the future leaders of the church. Dennis S. Thompson. Bethel, Kansas A. W. Hopkins who is serving his thirty first term as Chief Grand Scribe of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, of the Kansas and Nebraska Jurisdiction, who lived in Leavenworth for the past forty five years, was born in Richmond, Va., and brought to Saler County, Arkansas, by his parents when three years of age, where he was taught that labor was honorable, to which he has applied himself for many years. He then came to Springfield, Mo., where he remained for a short while. Afterwards, he explored the South for a while, returning next to Lexington, Mo.

FRAD RAZOR CO. 1475 EROLDWAY NEW YORK! CITY. --- SPECIALTY Church and Lodge Socials --- "A few days ago a race publisher and printer went to the annual services of the fraternal order of which he and another publisher are members in good standing. When he entered the church, he was handed a program which bore the imprint which was not his, not the other publisher of the order, nor any of the race establishments. At this service he had to pay his twenty-five cents or be fined one dollar meeting night. He pays his dues, taxes, and other lodge obligations, buys stock to help pay for the building, shares in all the troubles of the organization, and with other members must help keep the thing going, but much of the printing of this organization goes the other way—how is that for living up to the principles of Friendship Charity and Benevolence? "The prices of printing of two offices is seldom the same on any job. One office is a few cents higher on one job and the other a few dimes lower on another. This holds good in any office, the white and the black alike. Therefore, the wall of cheapness is all of order. And though it were a fact, the difference is made up in the office with the newspaper in connection. "It would hardly be known that a colored fraternity and many of our churches were in existence were it not for the Negro press. Printing can be carried to the other office but to get an article in his newspaper, in any desirable form or place, a crime has to be committed by some member of the order or church. "In connection with championing the cause of the race and rendering a service that the race has never and will never be able to fully comprehend and appreciate as a mass, and opening the door of hope to the black boy and girl, the newspaper with the printing office, carries in columns during the year's time without charge, notices, news and publicity about race churches, fraternities, clubs and the like, that amount to hundreds of dollars in linotype and labor. "A few months ago, a white publisher said to the writer, "Your people are certainly inconsistent. I do not understand them. They kick about how they are treated and about this thing and that thing, about being discriminated against, Jim Crowed, etc., but make little effort to stop it. Your leaders speak and preach about race unify, race pride, supporting their own business, etc., yet they themselves, don't practice it. We get hundreds of jobs of printing from them during the year. We want their business and appreciate getting it, but we had much rather see you get it. You can do it just as good and as cheap as we can, you are entitled to it, and ought to get it. Your leaders certainly need to get together and stop so much talking about it." We made the best excuse we could for the race—but neither can we understand. (From the LOUIVILLE LEADER) NEWTON.

In county and municipal elections elect as many Negroes as is possible to execute the laws. This alone would do much when viewed right toward lessening criminals and crime.

Chitlet preached this. I am a professing Christian. "A society based on money is the wrong thing," he continued. "All the evils of the world spring from private possession—from the desire of one man to have more than another. The real things—ideals and ideas—cannot be bought and paid for." "If I have something others need I will give it to them. And if they have something I need I'll take it, but not on a money basis. All I want to eat, I'll plant my foodstuffs and build an engine to reap them. Then I am producing what I need and not robbing any one." DEAD 'THE PLAINDEALER FOR YOUR HOME NEWS.
